...Indonesian Dictator Sukarno after he gave up the patently absurd mislabel of "guided democracy"-which has now been picked up by Malawi President H. Kamuzu Banda, who explains blandly, "I am a dictator by the will of the people." Southern Rhodesian Premier Ian Smith, busy developing a political hammer lock to keep some 250,000 whites in power over the nation's 4,000,000 blacks, insists that what he is about is "responsible democracy."

...probably the best fighter, pound for pound, in the world-the perfect picture of destruction with his 42-in. chest, 26-in. waist, and smoothly lethal muscles.

Chris Pardee cleared 6 ft., 10 in. in the high jump, and, like Lynch, took a fourth. A week later, in the USTFF championships at Corvallis, Ore., John Bakkensen threw the discus 179 ft., 9 in., and John Ogden ran a 1:51.6 half-mile. All the parformances were...
